Dining Room: The bottom of the chandelier should hang between 800mm / 900mm (31inches - 36inches) above the dining room table top.

Open Floor: The bottom of the chandelier should hang 2.3M (7ft 6inches) from the floor.

Chandelier Diameter: Measure the length and breadth of the room in feet and add together.

Example. A room measuring 14ft + 16ft = 30ft. The 30ft answer should be read as 30 inches.

So your chandelier should be 30 inches in diameter or thereabouts. (if hanging low over a standard dining room table subtract 12 inches)

 

 

Hope that helps but just a rule of thumb.
